speaking of the un security council earlier america top to promote antony brinkman accused russia of using food as a weapon of war. russian government seems to believe that using food as a weapon will help accomplish what its invasion is not to break the spirit of ukrainian people. still ukrainians are going to great lengths to feed their own people and to feed the world. farmers and ukraine continue to risk their lives to produce wheat and other crops. many have returned to fields that are filled with mines. they were bullet proof vests and helmets as they harvest. and as we've heard already, powerfully this warning, not only ukrainians were suffering as a result of the russian government's actions. some $20000000.00 tons of grain, cit, unused ukrainian silos as global food supplies, dwindle, prices skyrocket, causing more around the world to experience food insecurity. stop markets across the globe slumped once again, fearing a global recession driven by soaring inflation. the dow jones and new york extended losses and all point 75 percent in early trade. port earnings reports from

scathing response from shin fane the nationalist, who said that his government was playing a game with brinkman sick with the e. u at the same time as making government here in northern ireland. contingent on satisfying democratic unionist party demands. they called that strategy reckless and shameful, and even the d u. p would not sign up to rejoin and government under these circumstances. jeffrey donaldson saying he wants to see exactly what was in the government's proposal. he would make his judgment based on actual actions rather than the words of bar is johnson's government? well, mister johnson, we know believes that there is a negotiated settlement to be had with you, and that is what he would prefer to happen. you want those changes to be negotiated, but he has said that he isn't prepared to act well, then he will have to act unilaterally. and that, of course, raises the prospect both of a breach of international law and of further upsets upsetting the very delicate balance of power that exist here in north. all right, so what might the consequences of unilateral u. k action be on the p

back in washington, secretary of state anthony brinkman asked congress to approve more funding for weapons to increase. >> for funding is critical in ensuring that russia's war in ukraine is a strategic failure for the kremlin and serve as a power lesson for those considering following his path. we met coordinating with more than 40 allies on how to keep weapons going to ukraine. germany has avoided sending in heavy weapons, but will now and in honored antiaircraft vehicles. an in the u.s. supreme court today heard arguments on the biden administration's pushed and former president trump's so- called remain in mexico policy. it requires migrant to wait outside of the u.s. while their asylum claims are decided. we met dhs contains tens of thousands of individuals on any given day. any discretion would mean that dhs cannot take account of that limited capacity making priorities and decisions. >> ending it would violate federal immigration law passed by congress. >> the biden administration just like the rest of us have to follow federal law. they either have to detain them or send them back

that's what i've seen, 100 brinkman pounds for 5 years. so what happens after that? and you know, if we have problem of unemployment or in the wonder, most of our youth, the unemployed, most of the women i see unemployed and yet, oh, blacking people went to work. doing something went, went, find welcome to confounded. so andy's young people went to being random. what happens when at mine is not there how they manage, how, what would they do? i think to propose conflicts in the 30. busy there will be issues and even if you have somebody giving them and i did leave a better life than others, i, you see there's a difference here and rather than do, okay, that we don't have this so much more jobs are people doing. you can get good money, so we're all trying to survive. and that the government has had a good plan. oh, getting jobs there every m. but this is jobs are not yet. there is a good plan, but we are not seeing them that jobs. so we were struggling and helped me. one of the things is high cost of living in the rundown as some people compared to go to europe. oh, ye

of war actually is. civilians as always, innocent civilians paying the highest price for the global brinkman ship of world leaders. we've been speaking to a several volunteers here. i'd like to speak to a woman now who's been here for several days, helping to translate, helping to a board, helping people put all the lillia when thank you for talking to us. you've been for here for a few days. you said that this is one of the busiest times you've seen since the beginning of the conflict. can you describe a little bit of the scenes you've seen of the work you've been doing? okay. said that i feel like when i just arrived or what astonished me is the number of children and women coming, crossing the border. and it's really struck me a day at the very beginning. i was quite emotional, but then i needed to change my mindset to help those people. so it was yesterday that we saw the biggest influx of people at this border a week i was loading people for a good 12 hours in buses like this and, and yeah, it's been really hectic. i am definitely sleep deprived. but thankfully, there's a lot of volunte

of war actually is. civilians as always, innocent civilians paying the highest price for the global brinkman ship of world leaders. mr. blinking has been saying that they will continue to support ukraine as other world leaders in the west have been saying. they will continue to support the war effort as well as the humanitarian relief effort. but the people that we've spoken to here, they're crossing over, say that, you know, it's simply not enough. they everyone, we speak to from ukraine, saying that what they want is a no fly zone. what they want is a more military footing by their allies in the west. and of course, western leaders say that they can't do that. they don't want to trigger more direct conflict with russia, but the fact of the matter is these ukrainians who have crossed in people from all different nationalities. ukraine is a bit of a melting pot. everyone has been crossing in has been fleeing a country that is already at war for people here. their worlds have already really come crashing down around them. we've been speaking to several volunteers here. i'd like to speak to a

i think people just thought this was black with brinkman ship. they didn't actually think they would go with it or they think they would be an escalation in the. ready east in don't think they would be full scale invasion along with the folders as we say now happening today. so that's definitely more threatening people. i thought people are now still functioning. still try and help each other will. i've seen people trying to control their neighbors to help them get out. how can people they generate to distribution slides? so for now, why i'm not nick, thanks so much for now. that was our correspondent nick connelly. they're reporting from northeastern ukraine, outside of the cities of the country's largest city. car key. well, let's cross over to washington. now our correspondent there is stuff on siemens he's standing by stuff on president biden has said the world will hold russia accountable for this attack. he's expected to address the nation on thursday. what, how can we expect the us to react? there's gonna be vest american, so tomorrow at n

lot of positioning going on right now when it comes to the geopolitical chessboard, a little bouts of brinkman ship. i wanted to ask you though, at the end of the day or the media headlines, say that, you know, it's going to be a war between russia and ukraine and yet, many is saying, no, it won't be. ukraine will be the staging ground. ukraine will be the battle ground at the end of the day is going to be another proxy war between russia and the u. s . a. nate, so what, what do you, what do you say about oh, what, what one of the things i say to that is that we said they shouldn't go out into the kind of situation where we were trying to interfere things in the areas we had our role been part of rushes to have influence taking right back to the 18th century. catherine, the great why us would we think that that is an area that we should be interfering with. i just think it's, it's crazy, strategic thinking on the part of western leaders. we saw today mr. phillip or the 1st ever press conference are broadcast around the world from these republics and eastern ukraine. and we had the leadership o

from ukraine's leaders that they didn't think this would be anything beyond kind of postering beyond brinkman ship on the part of like that person. but i think that announcement, in the past few days that russia recognize no separatists regions, not only where they are now, but their claim to the full entirety of the donating the hunts regents. that really has changed thinking here and give what is happening along that line. of contact and east and ukraine by government and separate his forces a clashing well, as you saw in the report, people are often without heating. they might still have electricity, thousands of others, all without water because shelling has destroyed critical infrastructure will to people who thought that they'd kind of made that piece with living next or was owned because it was somehow manageable. they knew the rules, the game most the time shelling was at night and immediately along that front line, but even 10 kilometers behind that frontline people felt more or less safe. they thought that the worst they'd seen in 20142015 that that was over. but now a sense among l

so, so, i mean, this is a very dangerous game, a brinkman ship. charles, what happens now is pu, tim, like you to press the pause button and see what the response is from the west, and you cry. well, prove it, he's a great tactician. i think he's a pretty bad strategist in the sense that this whole game is likely to backfire sooner or later. but what he's doing here is really turning up the he, he may turn down and he in the next couple of days and turn it back. he's always trying to keep ukraine and the west off balance. i think he will hit the pause button now to see what kind of response he gets to this action. i don't think he has his made mine, his mind made up. and so i do think that channels of communication shouldn't stay open and it's got to touch on. i'm afraid, i'm afraid we have to leave it there. thank you. thank you very much indeed for your time. all right, well that's it for this. i'll be back with a moment where much money to say without a zip. ah, al jazeera goes beneath the waves with a team of women, determined to save the dolp

alluding to and as other colleagues of alluded to here, at some point there is going to be no more brinkman ship. there will be a conversation, will it be decisive between president putin and president buys and all that the german government can do is stress the importance and unity of the european perspective and the preparedness to put very severe sanctions. indeed, on the government of vladimir putin, that what they can't know is whether that sort of suggestion to moscow will sway the thinking of president putin. ok. dom many thanks. dominant cane there are correspondent, breaking down the german aspect to this for us out of the bureau in berlin. let's go back to that russian national security council meeting. this is a tate feed. actually there was a slight delay for security concerns coming to us or out of moscow, but we can still listen and get a sense of what's been decided and discuss radians. and we need to recognize and acknowledge these story publics. we have to go beyond that double decked our country and thank you deal, colleagues, i have listened to all of you. that decision i

it's brinkman ship, they push to the edge believing that they have control over the situation and no, exactly how far they can go. the problem with brinkman ship, as we know historically, is that we don't, although the actors in charge are not really in charge of everything. and then they get scared of the consequences of their own action and eventually backed out. in the mean time, sometimes they've learned something from this crisis and re address it as in the case of the cuban missile crisis. and sometimes they go blindly about their businesses. you haven't, even, i mean, i view is the historical example of the cuban missile crisis. and, and in this case we, it can be applied in reverse. i mean, you know, we, we had kennedy telling khrushchev, you know, if you don't take those missiles out, we will increase as well. cuba is a sovereign country, has right to have its own friends and alliances and all that. and then kennedy replied, if you don't take those missiles out, we will. is it an appropriate analogy? go ahead. i but how, but, but a, go ahead. let's remember how that very quic

waiting for a war. donald, you know it's one thing for politicians and the media to to play the games of brinkman's ship. but what about the every day joe? like you or me, for example, if, if you will from i would take us to ukraine and how the people there fairing amid all this rhetoric and attention. right, that's a good question. you think that this hysteria, media hysteria, campaign would be aimed at russia, but it doesn't really affect moscow all that much. it's the ordinary ukrainian people who have been living through a conflict drawn out conflict and on boss in just one piece that are being affected here. i mean, this is sort of a media campaign. it created hysteria throughout ukraine. there are people organizing militias training for an alleged russian invasion that has failed to play out. and, you know, it makes it seem like the western powers that have been time and time again. saying that they're trying to defend this country, or actually to stabilizing it. when are some of this in fact, who have been observed? i an ex situation where the west i, you the united states in london, the ang

and i don't is it's one thing for politicians and the media to to play their games of brinkman ship. but what about the every day, joe? i mean, if you would take us to ukraine, how are the people there faring amid all this rhetoric and tension? right? well, looking at this sir, media hysteria that's been going on for the past several months. you'd think that the target would be russia, but it doesn't really affect moscow all that much. like you said, it's ukrainian people who have been suffering through a, drawn out conflict and on boss for years already who just want peace. they're the ones actually suffering from this. we've seen that this information war that the west has unleashed, against russia, as actually cause to stereo to go around in ukraine. people are organizing militias, training for this russian invasion that has never happened. so, you know, it seems like this country that western powers have time and time again said that the trying to defend is actually being destabilized as a result of their actions. well, some of it, in fact we have been observing a unique situatio

hopefully of course this was just of course brinkman ship, but there is always a possibility that something may go wrong. i mean good to go car who ations are one thing, but there can be an incident that can begin unraveling at all when you're moving so close to the brink. it's a very dangerous act. yes. and it may bring results, but it also can bring a possible, a serious con for with military confrontation or clean. it's all coming back from the bring in that power falcon her in moscow. thank you for your time. we appreciate that. now a little earlier sammy's ident spoke to the mayor of keir botanic, which kirk, the former boxing world champion, who explained that concerns about the russian troops at the border and how the city planned to defend itself. we have done half exactly information we have 3rd, so much so much information right now is the, from different her sources. we have different informations and, you know, we're from our east, the partners, we see the no russian small for troops back to our board. a russian sold, so they move away. ok. now u. s. intelligence reports have be

time again in the last 7 years since russia and it's crimea, and most people will say this is just brinkman ship. but now when they saw foreign diplomats leaving in a hurry, moving their operations either out of the country or to the far west of ukraine to the border with the e. nato with flights being canceled, you see ordinary ukrainians, realizing that this is for real, that this could affect them very soon. and lots of people who previously had downplayed this in people. i know here have talked about preparing cases with documents, with cash, with basic supplies in case they need to leave their homes in a hurry. so this is really striking home after weeks of people basically having the things in there is a, nick, you've been reporting on ukraine for very, very, very long time. and given us the insight perspective if diplomacy prevails and obviously everybody's holding, i hope that the pharmacy prevails. does the pressure is pressure then released on ukraine, or does the pressure just continue on ukraine? well, it seems like russia, i mean, it's kind of clear that russia has these abilit

they said this was just diplomatic bluff posturing, brinkman ship from vladimir putin. but i think seeing foreign diplomats leave key have shut up shop here, or move their operations to western ukraine to places closer to the u nato. that as we spoke people, then you heard airlines were pulling out of ukraine over safety fears. insurers saying they wouldn't insure flights over ukraine for fear of something repetition of what we had in 2014. when that malaysian elena was, am was downed over ukraine. so that really is something that people can kind of understand in their daily lives. and you see people who are taking money out of banks preparing cases in case they need to leave in a hurry and basically preparing themselves for the venture to that. most people up to of i recently didn't think had any chance of coming to, to fruition. did you come on in a commonly, they're reporting a from kia. thank you very much. and i'd like to remind you that we're currently waiting for the press conference to start for from the scene. pictures live pictures there from p. f all shows ge

how much of his current crisis has to do with political theater brinkman's ship, to what extent a politicians who are trying to find ways to ease the tension actually making the situation worse? yes, indeed. the ukraine crisis is a symptom of a larger crisis, which is as far as moscow's concerned, the failure of the breakdown of european security order, which it was not happy about for many, many years. yelton wasn't happy with it. fair. and putin as constantly said, look, we really need to have a system in which we not simply face turbine, enlarging nato to our orders in august night or the whole at military escalation on all sides. and so this ukrainian issue is as it were, the hard to be the edge you at the end of the spare, at which shows that larger issues. politicians, a warning that the situation is dangerous people, foreign nationals are being evacuated out of ukraine. to what extent is that though, because that could be a political misstep, a miscalculation by either side, not just a ministry. absolutely. so what that does is the sofa escalate set on the one for the wolf fever, which

the grad deters a potential military intervention and russia gradually abs retreat says from brinkman ship again. the worst case scenario, obviously the flood invasion. i think the most likely scenario, something in between and adding to the current tensions right now as a military exercises between russia and bela rose in their 2nd day to day. and the big question, of course, is whether russia will pull back its troops at the end of these exercises as it phase. it will, well, what are your thoughts on this? while these exercises, obviously, i also link to the development new grade. there's $30000.00 forces there. it's the ad biggest forced to apply him into the rushes, made like in a foreign countries and the end of the cold war, at least legally recognized it. sir. also, russia does want to show solidarity with the bell russian government to which has been under strains as the protest in 2020. so it's possible that this is just about showing solidarity with beller is not brain partnership, but i have a feeling that the insurance is that it may have given to the french about leaving

that's why we're seeing all this brinkman ship. i would say today that it's very simple in terms of the government of us unity. they would just like to extend their mandate by any means that they can and that would probably include trying to extend it into the next election cycle with the parliament. i think it's much more structural. i feel i felt a has not just the speaker and the chief speaker of the parliament and tried to have a shot is not the prime minister. they have allied themselves, the helicopter, whose libyan arab armed forces stand institution, me outside of the states. and that central problem of the last 12 months and going back over the last 5 years, is that they haven't figured a mechanism to marry the libyan are about forces into the states. and that's why we're seeing all the sprinkling ship. the so much obviously at stake and the so much at the table to negotiate. but it's very, very difficult to determine what the, when, and it's essentially the wednesday or will be to mediate this. and that's where the, the c

when cheryl brinkman was a member of the sfmta board, she stated that she saw her role on the board as supporting staff. sfpuc commissioner tim paulson has stated from the dais that he saw his role on the commission as deferring to staff for the profession -- professionals. is this a closed-loop? thank you. [please standby for captioner switch] >> supervisor peskin: i will say that many of these charter amendments for including the police commission, the planning commission, for any number of commissions. next speaker, please. >> caller: good morning. i oppose this charter amendment on a number of grounds but largely because this significantly changes the balance of power in san francisco and significantly changes the structure of the way our city is run and i know on wednesday, there were a lot of arguments made by the proponents of the people who had called in saying that other cities do it this way, well, other cities are different. most of those cities that you called upon have five to seven supervisors. so if we want to cut down significantly, then that might make sense. our city
